550 Centrestand

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
Later systems were as mick described, early ones had a seperate one on the LH side

matthewmosse:
If the earlyer pipes had a seperate part then the easyest solution is has been suggested to look for somthing out of the shed to bodge into place, the other thing might be to call motad and see if they can sell you what you need. I've done that in the past to get part of a motad system that was missng off an ebay buy and it was reasonably priced enough and they were quite helpfull.

LesterPiglet:
My Motad I got in the 90's had a support bracket that was L shaped, I think to stop the stand rubbing. It didn't fit my bike for some reason so it's in my garage somewhere.
From what I remember it was just a folded flat plate.

Oldbuthopeful:

At the risk of offending everyone else who came up with such ingenious/sensible solutions, I'm going to opt for Oddjob's
......'rubber bung on a bracket off the pivot pinch bolt'..... idea.  I cobbled-up a bracket fixed to the  silencer mounting
bolts today but it didn't look very pretty.  Never thought of controlling the swing of the centrestand so near it's pivot point.
So that's tomorrows little project sorted.

Many thanks again for all the replies.   I'll try and post a pic of the finished article.

Sounds like you're nearly there; (I was late in reading this thread)
but along the same lines as Oddjob suggested, I used a small piece of sheet metal ('Ali'?) at the hinge bolt, bent to suit the correct 'hang height' of the stand when 'up' - to clear the silencers and avoid scrapping the stand in the corners.
- seems to work just fine.
- my photo attached.
Hope yours works out ok.
